Amends existing law to remove ongoing license plate fees for the Heritage Trust and to remove reference to the collection of fees.
Thepurposeofthislegislationistoremovefromstatutewhatismoreappropriatelyhandledthroughalicense agreement. The Idaho Department of Transportation charges $3.75 for each vehicle license plate sold. For the vast majority of plates, those using the tri-color "Idaho centennial" design, Idaho Code specifies that $0.50 of this charge be paid to the Idaho Heritage Trust for use of the "centennial" design. As the Idaho Heritage Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, such arrangements are best made through normal contract arrangements and not by statute. Currently, the Idaho Heritage Trust has such an agreement in place allowing the use of the "centennial" design for license plates and other purposes.
